Last Minute Holiday Gift Guide

Gift giving season is here and Mint makes it so easy for you to make everyone on your list happy even at the last minute. We have the most wonderful selection of presents to give and receive to make this a joyful holiday season. Whether you shop in our stores or online at shopmint.com, you will find beautiful clutches by Rebecca Minkoff and other Mint exclusive handbag designers for that special night out. Cashmere toppers so soft and luxurious in rich seasonal colors are also sure to please. Super soft and cuddly wraps and shawls by Michael Stars can be worn so many ways from a large wrap style to a bountiful scarf to keep you warm all winter long. Warm cozy sweaters always make a memorable gift and we have soft, warm, cozy knits from BB Dakota in the richest colors that will be sure to please the lucky recipient. A long cardigan is a perfect gift for almost anyone. Mint has color block styles with open fronts and so many different cardis to choose from that can be worn to work or even as a casual addition to an every day outfit.  

Rebecca Minkoff has always been a favorite designer of handbags and clutches in the most high quality leather in gorgeous colors of the season. This year, we are loving the chic Jean clutch with silver tone hardware in black and pine. These handbags will compliment an elegant dress or office chic outfit as well as a little black party dress and make a memorable gift that will be used time and time again. 

Mint searches out exclusive handbag designers for those extraordinary eye catching special occasion bags. We are thrilled to offer you the most elegant faux snakeskin evening clutches for the holiday season. Whether you will choose the gray and white faux python clutch with the decorative clasp or the elegant gold faux snake skin bag, either will make an elegant gift that will be treasured for years to come. 

A cuddly wrap is a gift that is like giving a giant hug. Michael Stars has brought us the softest and largest wraps of the season. One is trimmed in small pom poms and comes in so many delicious colors. The other is black and trimmed in ruffles. The great feature about this wrap is that it can be worn as an elegant shawl over a dress for a special event, or it can be double wrapped around your neck as the softest scarf and look great with any jacket or coat. A gift like this that has many uses and can be worn so many different ways is a present that will truly be appreciated.

The most luxurious of gifts on our list has to be the 100% cashmere toppers. They are absolutely the softest and most elegant present that one can receive. Worn alone over a tank top or worn over a long sleeve blouse or even a dress, this mini poncho is so chic. The best part is that this shawl comes in so many festive colors like caramel, black, charcoal, navy, red, and burgundy. This is truly a wonderful and useful layering piece and makes for a very luxurious gift.

BB Dakota sweaters are wonderful gifts to give. The colors are fabulous this season and the knits are so soft and warm. A cable knit sweater looks great with your favorite denim or a a cute skirt and boots. A pretty sweater in the newest eyelash knit would be a welcome gift for the holidays as well. Knit sweaters with ruffles look so pretty for the holidays paired with faux leather leggings and booties. BB Dakota gives you so many to choose from. 

Last but not least at all is the cozy cardigan. This gift will be appreciated all year long because it is the perfect transitional piece in your wardrobe to take you from one season to the next. A cardi is also the best layering piece. It can be worn as a casual addition to an outfit or even as an office chic essential. Mint has a huge selection of cardigan sweaters of all kinds. We especially love this color block cardigan this year. This would be the perfect last minute gift to pick up, get gift wrapped, and give to a friend. 

A beautiful cardigan can also be worn as a jacket. This beautiful new arrival by BB Dakota is a cozy beige eyelash knit with a shorter length than the others that will compliment so many outfits. With an open front and two front pockets, this gorgeous cardigan will be a treasured gift to be worn year round.
